How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 38 = 27.74
- Check: Work backwards: 27.74 ÷ 38 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/38, so part = 73 × 38 ÷ 100 = 27.74. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*38. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means

Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 38 by 73% gives 65.74 and decreasing it by 73% gives 10.26. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 17.7498, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
